''grand old man" in England, had so much
enthusiasm, courage and ability for

with al iron band, such as they would bind on
at Princeton or Andover. That is well

Because Beecher was not bound by bonds
made by man, because of his noble work for
humanity all these years, l thank God that he
was not systematic thelogian, but just the
great free reasoner we knew him to be- He
was net of tiower-pot growth. He was giant
